does anyone know how to get swirly mms to work on uk iphone on o2 p&g?
does anyone know how to get swirly mms to work on uk iphone on o2 p&g?
well im assuming your asking for the mms settings, the best bet is to go into settings and use the auto request settings at the lower right hand corner and go thru nokia or motorolas site to request settings to be sent
goto the swirlyMMS settings page here, http://swirlyspace.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=10
i think i have some of it working but when i send a mms it says unsupported message and when i try to recieve them it says fetch error unexpected http response. help please.
What does it say in the SwirlyMMS log files? It should show what is happening.
Also, I have had no end of problems with O2. They have barred me from using MMS. I have had a number of reasons.
1. Yeah mate it should work, its enabled on your account
2. iPhone does not support MMS, goodbye.
3. Apple and O2 have an agreement not to allow MMS
4. We don't know how to bill it on your tariff so you can't send them.
The reason I cannot send MMS at the moment is due to the error: User barred.
Nice huh?
how do i access the log file?
SSH into your phone and goto Library/MMSfiles
it says non-digit found in parse. whatever thet means
i now get this error Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (11) [2002] when trying to access this site http://www.swirlyspace.com/forum/ on my pc after ssh
has anyone any idea guys?
the forum works fine now. and asking there you will most likely get a reply from one of the creators.. so id say ask there

I was on my way to the gun shop. I was going to look at a gun for my wife. Drove a half an hour in the snow in my 350z just to look because I'm so excited. On the way, I stopped in to the police station to see if my CCW permit showed up early, and it had. Then I got really excited because I could pick up the M&P compact 9mm that I had paid for on Wednesday. I walked into the shop and he said, "Hey, I just got your approval." I said I'll also take the .38 for my wife. Oh, and some Speer HP's. Oh and some .38 target ammo. Oh, and a new Galco holster. I think I may be addicted.
I entered this forum a year ago and approached it like a 12 step program after the excitement from my first purchase. My 12th gun is coming in on the 26th the month, a 95+% Ruger Security Six 6" Bicentennial edition from 1976. This should mean I'm cured right?!?!?!
Hi Dsig1. We are all in this together. I am on step 7.

Steve beat me to it! I would be in the same boat as you if I has $$$ to spend so freely!
Addiction is a disease. You can't let a little thing like funds, or lack thereof, get in the way. Also, I have sold as some guns as I have purchased others so my current cache only consists of 9 guns. If you really want to look at a half full glass, since the election, guns are probably one of the best investments out there. If kept in good condition and if bought prior to the election, most guns, especially hi-caps, have held their value or appreciated a bit.
Wow, now I feel a lot better.
I did see a new Kel Tec SU 16 yesterday for $500.
Food, gun, food gun - oh I need to lose another 20lbs. No food this month so gun it is
I'm still waiting on my bailout from the feds. Then I can go on that buying spree...err, help out the economy by being a good consumer.
I can stop anytime I want to; I just don't want to.
Aint addiction great!
sounds like you had a goood day
Dont feel bad I could possibly be in the same boat. Though not as bad as I was in paintball. At one point it got to the point where I played once ever 6 months and me and 2 buddies would buy stuff just to swap back and forth and use to pick up other things. I had $8000 in paintball stuff (3 masks, 7 guns, spare parts for guns I didnt own, stuff that wasworth big money because they were so hard to find), etc.
Then softball. Had to have at least two gloves. You know in case one just happens to give out. Had to have 3 bats or more. In case you arent hitting up to par. Then what if one breaks. Cleats are good. Wow turf shoes they are more comfortable. Got to get them. Dont want knee and back problems. Wait how am I going to carry all this. Oh bat bags. Lets get this well it is too big sometimes got to get a smaller one. Finally cut it out. Down my cleats and a bat bag. Tote two of my cousin's bats so I dont buy my own. Just need to buy a glove, as I sold my last one to help pay for my ruger.
Now, I have buddies getting back into paintball and they are wanting me to start playing with them and I just got rid of everything but an old gun and I am afraid what will happen between it and this. Not ot mention softball season is about to start. My buddy and my wife are wanting ot pick up mountain biking after I got rid of my mountain bike. Good lord I can waste more money than a teenage girl at the mall.
I need help or my wife will kill me.
Brevard, I think you will find that other than the cost of the ammo you shoot, buying guns and keeping them in good shape is a much better investment than most other sports. Not to mention the defensive uses for a gun that are unmatched by any other hobby.
And the fact that buying guns is fun! I keep telling the wife "Just one...maybe two more". I've been saying that for years
As far as other hobbies. About 8 or 9 years go I would say painball was a better investment. You could play and play, get in shape, and if you kept your stuff in great shape get about 95% of your money back.
Now I will agree with defensive. Only problem with that is I have had 12 handguns and 2 shotguns. And not once have I had to use one to defend myself.
In the long run a pistol is a better investment due to the fact you dont know what the future holds and the price of guns may soar. I think it all goes with the times.
THe thing with guns is the difference between want and need. Sure you really only need a good pistol, maybe a 22 rifle and a shot gun. That just is not how my gun addiction works though. I have 23 guns in the house at the moment. and I "need" just one or two more But I look at guns a little differently than many I guess. A well built pistol to me is like a work of art in it's form and function. How it performs and why it performs as it does is something special to me. I guess that's my reason for being a 1911 fiend. They have been around forever and have not changed much over the years. The same principals apply. Even the new modern handguns and rifles are something to behold for me. For me getting a gun in my hand and being able of use it is more than than just the utility aspect of it. For many it's just a tool. and that's fine..for them. If I had 1000 guns it wouldn't be a waste. and I'd probably only "need" one or two more.

It's not yet February, and Chicago has just $5 million remaining of a $20.5 million snow removal budget to cover this winter and the start of next -- and we may see snow again before the weekend.
Until then, the arctic blast that closed Chicago Public Schools for two straight days will warm to the upper teens on Wednesday, a balmy forecast compared with the minus 40 degree wind chills that seized the beginning of the week.
Commuters should also have an easier time Wednesday. Metra, Amtrak and the South Shore Line all plan to run normal schedules, although trains may still run slower than normal because of the cold. Metra's North Central Service, which was halted Tuesday following a freight train derailment, will resume Wednesday morning, the rail agency said.
A wind-chill advisory remains until 9 a.m., as wind chills could reach 15 to 25 degrees below zero overnight, according to the National Weather Service. Highs will remain in the upper teens until Friday, when forecasters say snow is likely.
As of Tuesday night, O'Hare Airport has canceled more than 570 flights, and passengers are seeing 15-minute delays because of deicing, the city's Department of Aviation said. About 200 flights were canceled at Midway Airport Tuesday.
On Tuesday, Mayor Rahm Emanuel sought to reassure winter-weary Chicagoans that the city would not run out of salt or money to plow the streets.
"One, our roads in the city of Chicago are going to remain paved and plowed and passable," he said. "Two, we're going to have the salt we need when we need it. And three, we're going to do it [with] a balanced budget. That's the commitment we made and we're going to continue to do it. The city did not come and will not come to a standstill. Our public transportation system will move people and our streets will be passable."
The mayor did not explain where the money would come from when the $5 million left in the snow removal budget runs out.
Other sources pointed to a $6 million surplus in a motor fuel tax fund that's supposed to go toward paving streets and filling the explosion of potholes caused by heavy moisture and dramatic temperature swings.
Many disheartened Chicagoans turned to Twitter Monday and Tuesday to voice their frustrations.
"It's so cold in Chicago that I can't even think of how to be funny about it. It just sucks. It's not funny," tweeted one.
Ashley Pipes, 29, of River North, had a more optimistic outlook: "The weather sucks, but hang in there, because summer in Chicago is the best."

a challenging problem for all
Consider X-Y plane as ground and gravitational field acts perpendicular to it.A particle is projectedwith a velocity ''v'' at an angle less than 45°from origin onto circle (x)²+(y-d)²=r² on X-Y plane.Find the solid angle made by all projectionsof particle onto every point on the circle.{range ''R'' of particle≥(d+r)}.

Re: a challenging problem for all
I think you mean and also you want .
Supposed the trajectory is angled horizontally from the vertical plane through the y-axis, taking to be positive to the right and negative to the left of the y-axis. The straight line on the ground through the origin making this angle with the y-axis intersects the circle at two points. The distances from the origin to these two points can be calculated; these are the minimum and maximum ranges respectively at the angle . Let be the vertical angle from the ground at which the particle must be projected to cover the minimum range, and be the vertical angle to reach the maximum range. (This can be computed from the formula where is the acceleration due to gravity and the desired range.) The maximum value of the horizontal angle is .
Then the solid angle you want is:

I made some careless mistakes in my calculations and got some horrendously frightening values for the elevating angle.
And you want to find the following integral for the solid angle:

Menu Ideas
Take a Vacation in Your Kitchen
When January hits, things can get dreary. Skies are grey, resolutions are fading, and the chill keeps you bundled up indoors, dreaming of warmer climes and maybe a tropical drink or two.
While we may not be able to change the weather forecast, we are here to tell you that you can create your own little tropical vacation in your kitchen. Bright flavors evoke memories of sandy beaches, steel drum bands, and suns that set after 5 PM. A few paper-umbrella-worthy cocktails don't hurt, either. Go ahead: put the lime in the coconut. Drink it all up.

I definitely agree that you need to enjoy some non-winter fare to get you through the winter doldrums. We had the good luck to spend Christmas 2011 in Hawaii and I made papaya smoothies every morning on our trip. I've been enjoying recreating them in my own kitchen this January to brighten up our month (recipe at: http://www.2sisters2cities...)

This paragraph is the crux of the problem with the National Uniformity for Food Act of 2005:
…no State or political subdivision of a State may, directly or indirectly, establish or continue in effect under any authority any notification requirement for a food that provides for a warning concerning the safety of the food, or any component or package of the food, unless such a notification requirement has been prescribed under the authority of this Act and the State or political subdivision notification requirement is identical to the notification requirement prescribed under the authority of this Act.
Or to put it another way, instead of State Governments determining which foods need warning labels, the FDA would be in charge of it. Yes, this would be the same FDA which has allowed Carbon Monoxide treatment of meat, a ruling that goes against USDA regulations. Their track record on food safety is close to little or none. Why? Because 80% of food safety regulation is conducted at the state level. The FDA is not currently set up to deal with food safety issues on this scale.
Currently there are 200 various state food regulations that are at risk here, including these listed in yesterday's Washington Post article:
In Alaska, grocery shoppers must be told whether salmon is farm-raised. In Minnesota, candy labels must say whether alcohol is an ingredient. In Michigan, bulk food made with sulfites must carry allergy warnings.
All of these would go away under this law, unless they could get a deferment from the FDA.
The Alaskan salmon example leads to another thought. One of the reasons for the Alaskan salmon labeling law is to protect the state's heritage and tradition surrounding salmon. If there were one homogenous national standard, local and regional food traditions could be put at risk.
Additionally, If this resolution were to become law, it would provide one stop shopping for food industry lobbyists. Instead of having to deal with the needs and wants of the different citizens of differing states, the food industry could, in effect, dictate national policy in regard to various food products. Imagine Kraft affecting legislation on dairy laws, or Monsanto affecting rules concerning Genetically Modified foods, and you can see that this resolution removes a key check and balance in regard to food safety.
To put it bluntly, this is a bad law for the local foods and those who relish culinary diversity in the food marketplace. It puts more consumers at safety risks, it places local and regional food traditions at risk, and it makes it easier for larger food corporations to affect food standards.
I did promise good news…There is currently no correlating Senate bill on the docket. Even if HR 4167 would pass, the chances of it becoming law this legislative session are close to nil. It gives the rest of us time to set up strategies for future legislative sessions that try to get this through.

Queen Latifah Praises Chris Brown, BET Awards Tribute; Says Singer "Needs to Be Forgiven"by Free Britney at .
Queen Latifah is on Team Chris Brown.
The star's performance at the 10th Annual BET Awards Sunday, which she hosted, was "amazing, just amazing," she raves. "Not only was it a knockout performance, but his heartfelt emotion ... you can't plan that, you can't write that, it's just truth."
Fans have since argued what the truth actually is - specifically whether Brown's Michael Jackson tribute on stage was genuine or a shameless attempt to exploit the late King of Pop's legacy for some badly-needed positive PR.
The Queen says it's time to forgive Chris.
Queen Latifah has Chris Brown's back.
"He is young guy, he made a big mistake and he needs to bounce back from that. And he needs an opportunity for a second chance," she says. "We can't condemn that kid. He's a kid and he needs to correct the mistake for the future, not live in the past."
"He needs to be forgiven. Enough already. We can't keep beating him up. She [Rihanna] is going to grow, he's going to grow and we have to allow them both to do that."
What do you think?
Is Latifah glossing over what happened or are people being too hard on Brown? Has the public scrutiny gone on too long, or is it just part of what Chris must bear?
Chris Brown's BET Awards performance was ...

i loved that energized,sad,cherrful,but exciting all at once.i love you chris brown your are one of my idolz.it wouldv'e ment lotz to the one and only michael jackonson tribute.i almost staryted to cry just bcuz tearz wur runnin down ur beautiful face.in memories to the 1 and only MICHAEL JACKSON he will alwayz have a spexial place in all of our heartz.love u MICHAEL JACKSON.YOUR ALWAY DOIN SUM GREAT 2 UR CUMMNITY AND UR NEIGHBOORHOOD.THIS WORLD IS DEDICATED TO U.WE LOVE U ALWAYZ.AND U WILL ALWAYS HAVE A PLACE IN OUR HEARZ.TERAS.
It's this type of tolerance that has killed so many women. "He said he was sorry." If it were your daughter or sister that had been in that car and beaten within an inch of her life, could you still forgive Chris Brown? It was pretty convenient to have him break down and cry in front of a live audience with the cameras rolling. Hell, I'd cry too if my CD's weren't selling and my Visa was turned down in Europe. Can't make money sitting on his tail. When CB is dating someone seriously and potentially long term and that particular young woman says he's truly changed; then I'll give him the benefit of the doubt.
I agree with Queen Latifah and I give her massive respect for not taking the easy road and bashing Chris Brown as so many other sinners have down.We are ALL sinners.No one on this earth that is of age can cast a stone on anyone.If someone opened the door to our closets,massive skeletons will shake like an earthquake.
I keep hearing people say that Chris 'beat' the he!! out of Rihanna,Obviously those that say that have never seen 'real abuse victims'....
Someone spoke on how your father beat your mother,well you need to take that up with your father because Chris has nothing to do with that.
Another person spoke that"Chris can burn in hell for all you care".Sounds like you need to worry about your own dwelling in hell due to the fact that you and others that think as you do feel 'you can actually condemn someone....
I wish Chris good energy........
We have to remember that two people we're involved in that unfortunate situation a year ago. It takes two to tangle. However everytime I see a picture or video of Chris Brown, he is always smiling. It appears that his spirit on the inside of him projects something Good.Unlike other artists I see looking hard and mean. Chris Brown projects a positive spirit. All the people that has negaive things to say about chris have had failure and misfortune as well. Stop the Negative talk about Chris Brown.

Albemarle High School is hoping a transplant from the Arizona can turn around its struggling girls basketball program.
The school announced on Wednesday that Rachel Proudfoot was taking over the girls basketball program.
Proudfoot had been coaching basketball in Arizona for more than a decade, including the last four as head coach at Desert Vista High School in Phoenix. She recently moved to Central Virginia to be with family that had already relocated from California, and discovered the Patriots' opening online.
"This program is almost similar to where I started my last program," Proudfoot said on Wednesday. "They just needed a coach coming in that was new, that was willing to implant some great ideas and some new things. And so, within four years, it's a lot of work."
That hard work paid off at Desert Vista. The Thunder went 78-40 in four seasons under Proudfoot, and reached three Arizona state quarterfinals, including this most recent season.
Proudfoot takes over a team that went 5-20 under Harry Terrell in 2011-2012. But Proudfoot sees potential in the Patriots.
"There's a great foundation built here, with our academics and our student-athletes. So I'm excited about that," Proudfoot said as her new team played behind her. "They're excited. They're already on the court. So that's a good thing. That shows me they're ready for change, and new-ness."

There is a lot of talk these days about professional women who are trying to find a balance between career and family. Karen Carney '93 could be the poster child for what she calls the "non-linear career path," a hallmark of people who alter the pace and intensity of their careers to best suit their family's needs. A Stanford-trained Ph.D. scientist who has worked for the U.S. government, environmental nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), academia, and the private sector, Carney recently decided to take a two-year "sabbatical" to stay home with her two small children until both are in elementary school. So far, she's very happy about that decision, and she credits her willingness to take the risk to lessons she learned at Kalamazoo College.
A native of Livonia, Michigan, Carney came to K to study biology and play soccer. Both endeavors have played an important role in her life since K, she says.
Soccer, Carney says, was a central part of her K experience. Likewise, Carney was a central part of soccer through her years at K—so much so, in fact, that she was inducted into the Athletic Hall of Fame in 2008. Among the accomplishments noted in that induction: Carney was All-MIAA first team all four years she played for K; MIAA most valuable player in 1990; All-American second team in 1991; All-Mideast Regional first team in 1990 and 1992; and team captain in 1992. She holds the school record for career assists, the second-place school record for goals in a single game, and is one of five members of the "40/40 Club," for a career 47 goals and 51 assists. Soccer taught her, Carney says, that "I like to lead, but not to be isolated. Being part of a team is really important to me." That bit of self-knowledge has helped her make career decisions along the road.
Carney was interested in nature and science from a young age, but she became inspired to build her career in science through her interactions with Professor of Biology Paul Sotherland. She found Sotherland's classes and labs highly engaging, and he mentored her during a freshman-year internship. Carney built on that experience and did a junior-year internship at Point Reyes Bird Observatory (PRBO) in California, reaffirming her interest in natural history and birds.
After graduating from K, Carney spent six years working as what she calls an "itinerant field biologist and ornithologist." She was hired by academic researchers and NGOs to conduct field work for three- to six-month stretches at far-flung locations, including California, Central and South America, and the Antarctic. She worked on a variety of issues in this phase of her life. The focus of her early work was on avian natural history and conservation. In the Antarctic, between 1996 and 1998, Carney began looking more broadly at ecosystems and climate change; she was part of a team examining the impact of climate change on the reproductive success of penguins and other sea birds. She says it was a fabulous time, but by age 26, she was ready to move on. Being a field researcher was exciting, but she longed for new challenges and more responsibility. Moving constantly also became an issue. "There was no sense of being part of a community," Carney says.
Carney decided it was time to settle down and get her Ph.D. For that, she went to Stanford. There she studied ecosystem ecology, looking specifically at how land use and plant diversity in the tropics affect the amount of carbon and nitrogen stored by forests, which can be critical in assessing the contribution of land use to climate change.
After obtaining her doctorate, Carney landed a postdoctoral fellowship at the Smithsonian Environmental Research Center (SERC) near Washington, D.C., to continue her work on climate change. At SERC she examined the response of ecosystems to the CO2 humans add to the atmosphere. She found that soils, instead of absorbing much of this additional carbon and slowing climate change, can actually lose carbon under conditions of elevated CO2 and accelerate the problem. Carney's husband, Taylor Ricketts (whom she had met in the Antarctic) had also landed a job in the D.C. area, at the World Wildlife Fund.
While at SERC, Carney secured job offers from two well-regarded research universities, but she says she "just wasn't sure academia would be a good fit." Before she took the academic track, she wanted to try something more applied, and she was able to do this through a policy fellowship via the American Association for Advancement of Science (AAAS), which places Ph.D.s and engineers in government agencies for one to two years. Carney's assignment was with United States Agency for International Development (USAID), and her work was in the area of international forest conservation and biodiversity. While she missed having the opportunity to explore novel scientific questions, she felt her scientific expertise was of real value to the agency, and she liked applying her knowledge to real-world problems. An added bonus was travel, including trips to Brazil and Brussels, as part of a USAID team that provided technical support to field programs.
Though she enjoyed the USAID work, Carney's fellowship only lasted for two years, so she needed to look elsewhere. She noticed that the most interesting work done through USAID was often conducted by NGOs or consulting firms, working under contract for the agency. That realization led her to a step she never thought she'd take: becoming a consultant. She had always had the perception, she says, that consulting firms were primarily focused on making money. But then she came across Stratus Consulting, an environmental research company based in Boulder, Colo., and Washington, D.C. After asking around, Carney learned that Stratus was known for its high-caliber research and that it focused on doing work that protected natural ecosystems and resources. Carney heard a client describe Stratus as an organization with the intellectual rigor of a think tank and the discipline of a consulting firm. Carney began working for Stratus in 2007 and says she loves the people she works with and the kinds of projects she has been able to take on.
At Stratus, Carney helped secure a wide range of projects from government agencies, foundations, and non-profits. Her particular focus has been research in support of the Climate Change Division of the Environmental Protection Agency, looking at the effect of climate change on ecosystems and the services they provide. Another main area of her work has been helping foundations evaluate the effectiveness of their environmental programs. In this capacity, she has helped lead projects for the David and Lucile Packard Foundation and the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation.
Stratus has been a great
"You learn to jump off cliffs."place for Carney, particularly at this point in her life. She and her husband have two children, Zoe, 5, and Lincoln, 3. Carney says that Stratus offers "incredible flexibility for families."
Carney's family had been based in Washington, D.C., since 2004, and they enjoyed the city. However, when her husband was offered the position of director of the Gund Institute for Ecological Economics at the University of Vermont, they jumped at it. Vermont was a bit more their style, says Carney, offering incredible outdoors opportunities, good skiing, and a less congested and less expensive place to live.
Because of this last point, Carney found herself considering cutting way back on her hours for the first time in her career. She also was likely influenced, she says, by how open Vermonters are to slowing down to accommodate a growing family. In Washington, D.C., nearly everyone she knew was focused on their career and personal achievement; it would have been isolating to step out of the work force. "I had the option to not work now," says Carney. "It allowed me to look at my life differently and to make different choices."
She started by cutting down her work week. Stratus agreed to her request to cut back to 15 to 20 hours per week. But still it was clear to Carney that she wasn't getting enough time with her children. The opportunity to be her children's primary caregiver, rather than entrusting them to day care, won her over.
"I knew I would regret not doing it," she says. Stratus continued to oblige. Starting in May 2012, Carney began working just two to five hours a week ("or less") for Stratus. "I'm engaged at a very low level until I'm ready to jump back in," she says. The plan is for Carney to increase her professional work time in two years, when son Lincoln starts kindergarten, though she acknowledges that this is still theoretical. Meanwhile, she keeps current by reading e-mail updates on policy, science, and some of the projects she had worked on. Right now, Carney says she's having a lot of fun focusing on her family in their Shelburne, Vt., home.
Still Carney acknowledges, "It's a risky thing I'm doing. I'm not sure how easy it will be to ramp back up." But rather than focus on the very real risks of stepping back from her career, she tries to keep the big picture in mind and not dwell too much on career goals she may or may not reach. "I want to live a fulfilling life," says Carney. "It's not so much about the end goal, but the process."
Karen Carney credits Kalamazoo College with helping prepare her to make such risky choices. She notes how the programs and professors at K push students to step out of their comfort zones, both to learn and also to enjoy the richness of what the world has to offer. She says, "You learn to jump off cliffs. K instills in students a sense of adventure and an appreciation for non-linear paths to learning."

The worst wildfire year in Nebraska history has been followed by the sharpest drop in fires in at least a decade.
Colder-than-normal weather, less wind and just enough snow cover have worked to suppress fires in the first three months of 2013, said Don Westover, who is head of the wildfire program for the Nebraska Forest Service.
The break has been appreciated, he said, but the long-term outlook continues to call for another bad fire year.
"We are still in a very bad drought," he said. "We're hoping for the best but preparing for the worst."
From January through March of this year, the Nebraska Forest Service received reports of 49 wildfires in the state. That's about 18 percent of the 10-year average of 276.
Soaking rains are forecast across Nebraska this week — just the kind of weather the state needs.
Such rains will green up lawns but they won't do the same for pastures and grasslands in the most fire-prone areas of the state, Westover said.
Western Nebraska and the Sand Hills, where Nebraska's worst fires occur, are home to warm season grasses, and those don't green up until June, he said.
Continued rains through April and May are needed to get those regions into their normal green-up period. And that's just the first step. Then those areas need to get past the blistering heat of mid- to late summer.
Last year more than 400,000 acres, or about 620 square miles, burned in Nebraska.
Nebraska and Iowa are starkly different in terms of wildfire risk for many reasons, ranging from rainfall to roads to terrain. The single-worst outdoor fire in Iowa last year burned less than 1,000 acres, said Gail Kantak, fire supervisor in the Iowa Department of Natural Resources.
Weather consistently plays the biggest role in wildfire outbreaks. For example, the steep drop in fires in 2010 came during a year of heavy snows and flooding rains. The more than 500 fires in the first three months of 2006 came during a horrible year for the state, Westover said.
"That was a bad year. It was the first time we had fires burn into communities," he said. Fires that year spread into Chadron and Valentine.
And in Nebraska, fire risk changes day to day, based on wind speed, humidity and temperature. Western Nebraska already has seen several days in which the fire danger spiked considerably.
The cooler-than-normal start to 2013 is not expected to last much longer, and a quick switch in temperatures is possible. The April-June outlook issued by the U.S. Climate Prediction Center calls for warmer-than-normal weather across much of the central United States.
Nationwide, 2012 was the third-worst wildfire year on record. Like Nebraska, the rest of the country has seen a sharp drop-off in fires in the first three months of the year.
Also like Nebraska, the National Interagency Fire Center isn't expecting the drop to last.
"It's still relatively early in the fire season," said Robyn Broyles, spokeswoman for the agency. "This doesn't mean we're not going to see fire season pick up."

Thanks Gidde, ravells and jtougas for your support so far! I need a break from this project, started to mix shortcuts from PS and Silo, bored to make the same steps in PS etc. I promise that this will be finished, but it's not a kind of poetry. Just hard work

Hey Katto, have you got CS4 extended? That allows you to 'paint' directly onto .obj models which is pretty cool. you can look at your texture maps in real time as well.
I use the extended version of PS4, but the painting option is not helpful for anorganic meshes (horizontal/vertical alignment). I can't keep my hands off it and textured the last remaining buildings. The last thing to do are the doors and windows. I've tried one building so far, but I am not happy with the result yet. I'll keep trying to achieve what I have in mind.
On the right you can see the building with applied bump maps.
Wow. Just, wow. And I really don't see what the problem is with the door and windows, I love them.
Finished Maps
Even if I am correct, I would still advise you to follow your heart. This whole Cartographers Guild thing, it seems to me, is more about passion and skill and learning new techniques than it is about definitions and rules.

I recently upgraded from the Zeppelin Air to the new B&W A7. I wondered if the A7 would justify the extra money and within minute I recently upgraded from the Zeppelin Air to the new B&W A7. I wondered if the A7 would justify the extra money and within minutes of the first use, I was very happy with the upgrade. First, the set up took less than a minute using the B & W app. The same app didn't work as well on the Zeppelin even though they're both using AirPlay devices. It took me over an hour to set up the Zeppelin and it I was only able to do it with an old Gateway laptop. It wouldnt take to my MBA or any of my iOS devices. None the less, it eventually connected and it sounded great. The A7 delivers (IMO) crisper fuller tones. Our great room has 25ft ceilings and the A7 easily fills the room. I took it outside to do yard work and it still sounded great without having wall to bounce sound off of. Plus, it reconnects within seconds of plugging it back in. Again, the Zeppelin takes up to 10 minutes...I moved it one time, and at first thought I had to reconfigure it. Since the A7 reconnects so quickly, I take it with me to another room if I think I'm going to be in it for a while. It's also more compact and can fit into more narrow places, ie the toilet tank. I'm planning on getting at least one more. I want every room to have one. It's so convenient with the airplay. I've never had an interruption or dropped connection. Before I had the dedicated AirPlay speakers, I used apple tv to stream Pandora, but I have to either leave the system on or turn it on every time I want to listen. This stays on standby mode until you're ready.
Lastly, the build quality is classy and conservative. It easily blends with any decor and doesn't compete for attention. I've become a little discriminating to electronics and feel like the music systems should be heard, not seen...that much. …

Awesome Sound & Quality
I bought this item to replace my bose soundlink to play music throughout the house. This unit fills the house with highs & lows. V I bought this item to replace my bose soundlink to play music throughout the house. This unit fills the house with highs & lows. Very well balanced and clear sound, I don't think its even possible to distort the sound even at the highest volume. Set up was extremely easy using the set up app available for ipad or iphone. I was however expecting the range using airplay to be significantly greater than I experienced with my bluetooth bose but that has not been the case. It cuts out if I walk outside or move behind 2 closed doors. That said airplay does offer other advantages over bluetooth. This unit connects to any device easy once you are logged onto the same network. I would buy this speaker alone just for the sound it produces (and I will for a second one in the bedroom). …

B&W gives three months of gift subscription for the Society of Sound where you could obtain high-fidelity FLAC 24-bit albums, with which, the true potential of this system could be unleashed.
Room for improvement:
Although A7 DAC is capable of processing 96kHz 24 bits, currently Airplay (although I am not sure whether is it Apple of B&W to blame) supports only up to 44.1kHz 16 bits.

Get A7. No doubt it is expensive but do not compromise with Music. Voice quality is so rich it can make you move automatically. No doubt streaming is an issue here but at the same time you are having some portability. Listening takes more energy than talking in that sense A7 is an energy saving device as well. I felt relaxed even after long music listenings.

Sound Quality is Great, Airplay is Not
I have 3 of these throughout my home. I started off setting them up wirelessly, through Airplay. Sound quality is incredible for I have 3 of these throughout my home. I started off setting them up wirelessly, through Airplay. Sound quality is incredible for the size and the ability to place them freely. However, the overarching problem is that the wireless connection is unreliable. You'll see many complain that they cut out, lose their connection frequently, or have lags in the ability to control them. They are all true and you'll find yourself getting annoyed and the sound quality will matter less and less.
The B & W machines probably don't have a great wi-fi antenna, but I don't know technically what they use. What I do know is that I set them up as passive speakers by plugging them in either via ethernet cable directly to my router or to Airport Expresses via optical mini, and this is MUCH more reliable. Basically use the Airports you have to manage the data portion and just use them for the amazing speakers they are. If you want a great speaker that is beautiful then these are for you. But be prepared to be disappointed with the wireless aspect and plan accordingly. Spending $800 bucks is a lot for a speaker; you may as well put up the extra $100 for the airport express and $8 for the cable so you aren't completely let down. …

I wish I had taken the time to listen to them side by side, but I difference was still clear when I received the A7. I don't have the vocabulary of the audiophiles, so I'll do the best I can. There's absolutely no distortion with the A7 even at full volume whereas the Zeppelin distorted ever so slightly. I was also able to enjoy a more spacious sound from the A7 and more pronounced bass. I'd guess it's due to the new design. As I'm writing this review, I listening to a Tracy Chappman track and she sounds lie she's sitting in the room with me. Everything is so unbelievably clear.

The body decided that their "non-member observer entity" status should instead be "non-member observer state," similar to the Vatican, giving Palestinians a certain implicit degree of statehood recognition.
The following answers a list of frequently asked questions that may help clarify this relatively unique scenario.
What is the Palestinians' former status at the U.N.?
The Palestinians had had "permanent observer" status at the U.N. since 1974, when the Palestine Liberation Organization was recognized as an observer, a position which is not defined in the U.N.'s charter.
The mission, which subsequently became officially referred to as "Palestine" within the U.N. system, was in 1998 granted privileges that had previously been held only by member states. These included the rights to participate in general debate at the start of the General Assembly and to co-sponsor resolutions, giving the delegation a unique status, somewhere between observer and member.

Studies show that engaged employees create an effective workplace. At REI, we want our employees to be motivated by their contributions, connected to our values and culture, and believe in our overall direction.
Each year, through an anonymous survey conducted by an independent firm, we ask all of our employees to candidly tell us about how they feel about working at REI.
The results of our 2011 survey are detailed in our recently released stewardship report. Our overall score, which is based on the favorability rating in eight key areas, was 87 percent. This is quite high compared to other U.S. retailers and global high performing companies.
In addition to a high engagement score, we've also earned recognition on Fortune's "Best Places to Work For" list for 15 consecutive years. The rankings are largely based on anonymous employee feedback, and this year we are proud to be number eight.
While we feel good about how much our employees love working at REI, we don't take this for granted—each day we try to give our employees a welcoming, fun and fulfilling place to work.
One example is the REI Challenge Grant program. Retail store employees can apply for grant of REI-brand gear or apparel to support personal outdoor challenges (no matter how big or small).
The result? Personal accomplishment plus greater product knowledge and valuable outdoor recreation experience.
Since the program's beginning, REI has helped employees pursue some awesome challenges, from Mt. Everest expeditions to 50-mile bike rides to a person's first multi-day backpacking trip. Our colleagues always come back excited to share their inspirational stories.
An engaged workforce fosters a culture where employees take great care of our customers, drive our ongoing success, and plan to stay with us.

As Sunday's lap of appreciation after the final home game drifts into the annals of time, columnist Giles Smith is still looking ahead…
So, now it's all about retaining focus and finding the energy for that one final push. By my reckoning, just three points from these two games against Manchester City, and we all but certainly finish second on goal difference. And four points, of course, absolutely seals it.
Okay, it doesn't, in fact. But you'd be forgiven for getting confused about these post-season friendlies in St. Louis and New York - forgiven for not realising that you can now officially unwind and let it all go.
When did Chelsea last play a game that had no real consequences and didn't seem to matter? Can we even remember that far back? This was a season in which games with an awful lot hanging on them came twice a week - and, for one memorably draining period, three times a week.
It was, surely, the most dizzying season ever. The simplest thing would be to list the things that didn't happen these past months (a swarm of locusts, away at Wigan: that's about it), but here, instead, is a random selection of just a handful of the things that did.
Sixty-nine games, all told; the change of manager; the Frank Lampard record-pursuit (against a very loudly ticking clock, it seemed, before that little matter was resolved); the Champions League group-stage adventure; the rise and rise of David Luiz; Ballboygate in Swansea; Bitegate in Liverpool; Fernando '22-Goal' Torres; defeat in Japan in December, of all places, of all times; having to beat Manchester United at Old Trafford, and therefore doing so; losing an FA Cup semi-final; the form of Juan Mata; the form of Petr Cech; Brana rising to 14,000 feet in the third minute of added time in Amsterdam… By any analysis, this past year veered from low-grade soap opera to high-end theatre and covered all the dramatic ground in between.
The season review on DVD had probably better be a box set, then, something along the lines of The Wire, Series 1-5. I'm looking forward to setting a month or so aside in order to go through it, though I have no expectation of ever quite getting over it.
The so-called '39th game' (which it would have been, more or less, for Arsenal, though in our case it would actually have been the 70th game) was all set to go next Sunday at Villa Park. Amazing to reflect that, had we drawn against Everton last Sunday, and had Arsenal scored two more goals than us in a victory by a one-goal margin over Newcastle, even now we would be steeling ourselves for some play-off action to decide who would have the honour of third place.
Instead of which we're now battling City for the four points which will confirm second. Oh, hang on - no, we've been through that.
But just say the numbers had all lined up last Sunday. Many among our number would now have been readying their exhausted frames and their equally exhausted wallets for a slog up the M40 to Birmingham and back, when a completely viable, much cheaper and, in the context, far more resonant option, was available so much closer to home.
We said it here before, we'll say it again: the only place for a play-off to decide the Champions League places would have been White Hart Lane. With, perhaps, the Spurs squad returning in tracksuits to form a guard of honour, and Andre Villas-Boas as 'guest of the day' in the chairman's box.
But isn't that typical of the authorities, not to be putting the fans first?
Who doesn't enjoy an end-of-season player parade? The speeches, the trophy display, the walk-around, the family members, the flip-flops, the gifting of random items of kit to people in the Matthew Harding… there's no aspect of it that isn't to be loved.
And, best of all, the sight of the players' offspring dribbling half the length of the pitch and slamming the ball home in high style - despite the fact that, in many cases, the offspring in question are so small that the ball comes up to their knees.
This, of course, is a ritual that has been firmly in place since 2011, when Stefan Ivanovic lost his marker, went 'on a mazy', dummied the invisible goalkeeper and buried it, in a moment later immortalised by both 'Match of the Day 2' and YouTube. (818,866 hits the last time I looked. You can add some more here:
However, watching on Sunday, I did wonder whether this aspect of the ceremony in particular needed a bit of a shake-up. Don't get me wrong: I'm taking nothing away from those kids. The ability to perform on the day, under pressure, with the cameras there, in front of a full and extremely demanding Matthew Harding end should never be underestimated.
At the same time, it was clear last weekend that these children are beginning to find this business pretty easy. Indeed, I don't think even one of them missed. It was goal after goal after goal. So what I'm saying is that next season perhaps they ought to move on and do the crossbar challenge.

Doesn't Work
I always get a 1600 something error...
Some people are having a problem where iTunes is saying the iTunes Library.itl was created by a newer iTunes, so here's how to fix:
Go to:
C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Music\iTunes
(i think)
and rename iTunes Library.itl to iTunes Library old.itl. This is temporary while you install 7.5. You may delete the one created by 7.5 when u want to go back to 7.7 and restore back your old iTunes Library.itl which will give you all your songs back as well.
Step 2 - Downloading 1.1.4
Obviously, to downgrade to 1.1.4, you need the firmware(ipsw) file. That can be directly downloaded Here.
Step 3 - Putting the iPod into DFU mode manually
In order to downgrade, you must put the iPod into Device Firmware Upgrade mode manually. This is done like so:
1. Plug your iPod into the computer, and open up iTunes (7.5)
2. Hold both the home and power buttons until the device turns off
3. EXACTLY one second after the iPod turns off, release the sleep/wake button, holding the home button still ( the apple logo SHOULD NOT BE ON ).
4. In about 20 seconds, you will see your iPod appear in iTunes, but the screen on your iPod will still be off. You are now in DFU mode.
5. RELEASE the home button as soon as your iPod appears iTunes. If you fail to do so, your iPod will simply go back into recovery mode.
Step 4 - Restoring
Once into DFU mode, its easy. Just do a shift + restore in iTunes and choose 1.1.4.
Other Info ( Important )
Note that you CANNOT use programs like ZiPhone, iPhuc, iLiberty, and others that put your iPod into DFU mode automatically, because they, at least at this moment, are not compatible with 2.0. It will not detect your iPod!!!!
Bam! You're back to 1.1.4. We will be able to come back if wanted/needed. This will suffice for now though.
And if this guide helped, and you got it to work then:...wait for it...
--Winpwn iPod Touch 1.1.4 Firmware, 32GB Available 13.6GB (Lots Of Apps)
-- Songs: 2,021

you are a genius, this helped me
i restored it twice using this method

When I first began to use this product, I had given up on just about everything from high end to low end priced products and their claims to do "this or that" for my skin. My skin is oily to combination and have had a difficult time finding just the right day time moisturizer that would work well with my skin. As soon as, I applied one of those "other" day time moisturizers onto my face, the product felt thick, shinny, like it would just sit there on top of my skin and within minutes the product would begin to "melt" on my face instead of absorb into my skin.Dr.Perricone's Face Finishing Moisturizer is a moisturizer that applies smoothly onto my skin, as it absorbs evenly into my skin. A small amount of moisturizer is applied all over my face (and neck) for day time moisturizing achieving a positive outcome on the overall appearance of my skin.Once applied, my skin tone looks even, pores appear smaller, lines have lessened and I love the soft feel of my skin after using this product. I no longer have to be concerned about my day time moisturizer "melting off my face" as this product smoothly absorbs into the skin, leaving a fresh glowing appearance.I feel, with my continued use, my skin looks smoother, softer and better than before I used this product. I have used other Dr.Perricone products, which I am pleased with their outcome, along with this "Face Finishing Moisturizing Cream." For night time I use, "Concentrated Restroative Cream" and my daily serum is, "Advanced Face Firming Activator".

I absolutely love Perricone MD. For example the sample pack of Cold Plasma (despite a full sized portion being beyond my price range unless sold in a set) turned out to be, after approximately a week's worth of applications, the Holy Grail of serious skincare. The Face Firming Activator was my first experience with the brand and, again, I was in love with the results - literally firmer yet somehow dewy skin. The Acyl-Glutathione is yet another stellar (pricey but worth it) product. A chance to regain a satisfying degree of ones youthful appearance is virtually guaranteed if you stick with these precious products. Unfortunately, my experience with the Face Finishing Moisturizer came in no way close to the success I found with the above mentioned rejuvenating examples. I know this is a very popular moisturizer, but for those of us with dry skin and occasional bouts of rosacea, this may not be the skin solution for you. I was surprised to be met with drier skin throughout the day and finally realized that reappyling the Finishing moisturizer was only making matters worse (a few red blotchy rosacea breakouts finally convinced me to put the bottle down and cut my losses). Of course this may have been an isolated incident, but if you happen to have dry sensitive skin like mine, I would look into some of the other wonderful alternatives found in the world of Perricone MD. Nothing, certainly not one unsuited moisturizer, could sway me from my loyalty to the profound respect I have for Perricone's creations.

I think I'm in love!
By Nick D
from Melbourne, Australia
I have been using this product for about 1 week, and I think I am in love. I have oily/combination skin which also in some parts of my face gets dry! (so a nightmare). This is the first moisturise I have found which gets the right balance of moisture on the dry areas, without making the oily areas shiny! Very easy to apply and you don't have to use all that much. I use this product after the Pore Minimiser and Pore Treatment. My only big dislike is that it is in a jar - opposed to a pump dispenser! Dr Perricone - change to a pump dispenser. The whole jar thing is just unhygienic and exposes the product to the air to much. Otherwise - a VERY happy camper!

the smell is overwhelming
By Macska

I got this as a sample so I figured I'd try it. The strong perfumy smell of roses nauseated me so much I had to wash it off immediately. Maybe this is a good product but I couldn't keep it on long enough to tell.I have been using Pericone products for about 3 years. At one point I stopped because of the price but when I went back there definitely was a change. I will continue to use Perricone products. i just wish it wasn't so pricey. i need to be frugal elsewhere. So I guess I bought into it. LOL...
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Stable over seasonal change
By Pleased as punch

My issues with skin moisturizers over years has been my skin's reaction to the cream of the day as the seasons change. I've had to use one type for spring/fall, another for summer and yet again another brand for winter. I am thrilled that this product has been working hard throughout the spring to fall timeframe, with pleasing results. I am holding judgement for winter but am confident another in the line will provide the extra boost my skin needs to weather outdoor activities and indoor heating if Face Finishing Moisturizer does not.
